N-style Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Omitama City, Ibaraki Prefecture; Representative Director: Hiroshi Nakamura), which handles sales and implementation support for IoT devices, will begin selling the BLE sensor beacon "iBS09 series" in April 2026.
The iBS09 series is an IoT sensor that can wirelessly transmit detection data for distance, people, and objects via BLE. Developed and manufactured by INGICS TECHNOLOGY Co., LTD. in Taiwan, it can be utilized for real-time visualization of on-site conditions.
■ About the "iBS09 Series"
Overview of the iBS09 Series
The "iBS09 series" is an IoT sensor beacon that utilizes BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to wirelessly transmit detection data for distance, people, and objects, offering the following four models:
・Distance measurement model using ToF (Time of Flight) method (iBS09R)
・Human presence detection model using PIR (Pyroelectric Infrared) (iBS09PIR)
・Object detection model using IR (Infrared) (iBS09IR)
・Tag beacon model (iBS09/iBS09i)
*For iBS09PIR, you can choose between our proprietary firmware and the standard version firmware.
By selecting the optimal model according to the application, it is possible to grasp the on-site situation in real time.
This series is positioned as the successor to the conventional model "iBS02 series", and aims to expand detection functions and strengthen the lineup.
